Hi folks, it is starting to become a headache for me. I have some projects that automatically do a clean & build removing my existing javadoc and I have projects that sometimes need to be built twice to build without errors (usually problems with symbols not found).
I have quite modularized architecture with several different libraries and plugin technologies. I usually specify the project folder in Project Properties->Libraries which always shows that it uses the compiled files from the dist folder. I noticed that some older projects have different (default) settings for "compile on save" and "track java dependencies". So at this point I have a mixture. :-( I searched the net and found a strange recommendation at: http://wiki.netbeans.org/CompileOnSave#J2SE_Projects > In particular, the following changes are proposed to the J2SE project > properties: > * remove "Track Java Dependencies" checkbox from the Build/Compiling tab > * add "Enable Quick Run" checkbox to the Run tab Why should I turn the tracking off for J2SE projects (I would rather have expected to better turn it off for JEE projects...) and what the hack is "Enable Quick Run" - I can't find that. http://wiki.netbeans.org/FaqCompileOnSave is even more irritating to me as I don't really understand now, how the whole compile and build process works (I even don't use maven so it should be easier). When I debug everything is compiled differently then when building? - Then why does NetBeans prevent me often from building saying that already compiled because compile-on-save is on. Either documentation must be wrong (or just missleading - that is also possible) or NetBeans has bugs or it is just my "misconfiguration". Primary question: How should I have my project settings for "compile on save" and "Track Java dependencies" - and should I rather create a library in netbeans adding the jars in dist and link directly to that instead of linking directly the project? (I am doing Java SE only). -- Martin Wildam http://www.google.com/profiles/mwildam -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
